The Apple IIe introduced onboard 80 column support so Apple had to find some way of providing this in a way that was compatible with existing programs (such as Apple Pascal). This they achieved by expanding the motherboard ROM from 12KB to 16KB. This extra ROM is bank switched into the C100..CFFF address space using two extra soft-switches. SLOTC3ROM When set allows the ROM on a card in slot 3 to be used. When cleared forces the motherboard 80 col ROM code to be used. INTCXROM When set all slot ROM space accesses read from the motherboard ROM. When clear slot ROM space accesses the cards in slots (except for slot 3 if overridden by SLOTC3ROM). SETSLOTCXROM (or CLRINTCXROM) = write to $C006 SETINTCXROM = write to $C007 SETINTC3ROM (or CLRSLOTC3ROM) = write to $C00A SETSLOTC3ROM = write to $C00B [Using CLR/SET names makes more sense as it shows there are only two soft-switches and matches the other labels like CLR80VID/SET80VID etc]. Note that the Apple IIe Technical Reference manual (at least the spiral bound one I have) manages to get some of the above addresses round the wrong way. -- David Wilson School of IT & CS, Uni of Wollongong, Australia
